We have to recognise now that ISIS is spreading. It is not localised now; it is not in Iraq and Syria only. It is spreading to Lebanon, it is spreading to Libya, it is spreading to Iran.

Watch a clip of Ayad Allawi, vice-president of Iraq, addressing the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting 2015 in Davos above, and catch up with his full session on the strategic context of Iraq and Syria, here.
